It added that “several Hamas operatives were arrested” during raids on homes in southern Gaza, while witnesses reported violent clashes in several areas through the night.The Hamas government media office said separately that more than 40 air strikes targeted homes in Khan Younis, Gaza City and other areas.on March 10, but the UN’s aid coordinator for the area has said boosting supply by land would be far more effective.

Both sides have blamed each other for failing to reach a deal, after Israel demanded a full list of surviving hostages and Hamas called for Israel to pull out all its troops from Gaza.A source with knowledge of the ceasefire talks told AFP “there will be a diplomatic push especially in the next 10 days”, with a view to securing a deal within the first half of Ramadan.

UN chief Antonio Guterres expressed his “solidarity and support to all those suffering from the horrors in Gaza. In these trying times, the spirit of Ramadan is a beacon of hope, a reminder of our shared humanity”.
